Based on his conclusion, only one person fits his description of the three of them. Especially since he's the only one who doesn't have black hair.
"In that case, are you the ex-human you're referring to?" Baxter asked as he looked at Oldman Barn. Maybe it's because Barn's hair is white due to old age so Baxter thought that maybe his hair color was different when he was younger. Even ex-humans are not exempted from this natural phenonon. When a person grows old, even if they are exhuman, their hair will still be white.
Oldman Barn and Miles blinked their eyes at Baxter's question. "Ah? Eh? No! Not !" The old man replied stutteringly.
"What! Really?! " Baxter frowned at his false prediction. "If that's the case. If not you… who? "
At that mont, they heard a gentle voice. "It's ."
Suddenly, everyone looked at where the voice ca from. Everyone was stunned for a mont to see that it ca from the young man. They don't know if he's serious or just joking. Baxter's group's reaction was natural because no matter how they look, the young man looks like a normal person.
"Boy, this isn't the ti to joke," said one of Baxter's companions. On the other hand, you can see the agreent of others with their colleague based on their nod.
Jem took a breath before raising his hand slightly. When they saw the green aura creeping from his palm was,
"Wha-! He's truly an ex-human!" Claire said aloud. Definitely because of the bit of shock.
"Yes. And he also saved us from these monsters," said old Barn as he kicked slightly at a dead troll.
"Eh, really? If so, is his level already high?" Baxter asked sowhat skeptically.
"I don't know what you an by level, but he killed the monsters while they were busy attacking and granddaughter," Barn replied.
"I see. So it was a surprise attack. That makes sense," Claire said as she touched her chin.
They glanced at the young man and saw him nodding his head.
At that mont, their attention was imdiately distracted when they heard a shout from one of their comrades who was guarding the dungeon entrance.
"Leader! The next wave is about to begin! "
Everyone noticed the brightness of the dungeon entrance.
"I wish I could ask more questions, but we don't have ti to chat. The dungeon entrance began to light up again. This ans that the next wave is about to begin, "Baxter explained. After saying this, Baxter's group approached Jem. "Young ex-human…" Jem looked at Baxter upon hearing the call. When he noticed Jem's gaze at him, "Are they your family?" Baxter asked him as he approached.
"No. They're just my neighbors." His answer was still calm.
"Is that so? Then can you protect them? Or it would be better if you keep them away from this place because this place will beco dangerous sooner or later. "
Jem didn't answer right away. A few seconds later he said, "I'm sorry. I was planning to enter that dungeon," he said as he pointed at the dungeon entrance.
"....."
Upon hearing his response everyone seed incredulous. All of them gawked in disbelief. Jem wondered about their reaction.
Suddenly,
"Ahaha!" Baxter laughed out loud. "I like your spirit!" He said as he tapped Jem's shoulder. "But, you will only die if you enter that place. Do you know what— "
"Captain! We don't have ti." Baxter's words were suddenly cut short when Claire suddenly reminded him. He sighed before looking at Jem again. This ti his face was serious.
"Are you a mber of a guild or any organization?" He suddenly asked.
Jem stared at him when he heard his question. "I'm not. I'm a dropout of the academy, in fact."
By the ti he disappeared, Jem was sure that he had been declared missing. He was also sure that if Desty and the others had survived, they would have told the teachers what had happened to him. So it is impossible for Jem to return to Ex Soul Academy without causing commotion. Besides, he must first think carefully about whether he will return there or not.
Upon hearing his answer, Baxter spoke again. "Ohh. I'm sorry. But you cannot enter the dungeon unless you are a legal mber of the association. Only guild mbers have the right to enter that thing. And besides, the inside of that thing is dangerous. So it's better for you if you just help those two get out of this place."
Jem didn't expect what he heard. He didn't know that there was such a prohibition on the dungeon.
This ti he heard Miles' voice. "He was right, Jem. You can't just go in there unless you are a legal mber of the Clearing Association. "
"....."
Looks like he could not do anything about it. He just needed little points to be able to promote his Exo-points again. But, he also could not insist on what he wanted, even though he was doubting what they said.
"I see."
He just nodded slightly in agreent. Miles breathed a sigh of relief when she saw his reaction. Before proceeding towards the dungeon entrance, Baxter first leaves so advice for Jem.
"It is better that you graduate from the academy first because our work is not a joke. And at least if you are an academy graduate you have many options to choose from. Though, in the end, we still have to protect humanity from these creatures. Hahaha!"
Jem wanted to disagree with his last line, but he could not argue with him at this ti.
Before stepping inside the dungeon, Baxter looked up at the sky and suddenly whispered. "It looks like it's not just a simple attack…" after saying this they continued to enter the dungeon.
Two mbers of the Supa-Duckling guild were left outside. While five entered the dungeon to clear it.
On the other hand, Jem was left in charge of guarding Miles and Oldman Barn.
Well, that's fine for him. It was better if they could leave this place imdiately. Especially that he noticed powerful monsters flying above. He wondered what kinds of monsters were those. The most difficult enemy for him was the one he saw for the first ti. Even Jem doesn't want to fight those kinds of monsters if possible without taking precautions.
Regardless, he must first secure the safety of Oldman Barn and Miles. Not because he was concerned about the two, but because he needed to do it.
"Where do we go?" Jem suddenly asked.
"For now, let's find a shelter," Miles replied.
